Traffic Affects Google Rankings in 2020

The immediate effect that we saw on closer analysis was the impressive (if you look at the chart below) spike in website traffic around the day it was picked up by Reddit (January 5th).

Of course, quantity does not necessarily equal quality, as evidenced by the no-less-dramatic drop in average session duration (almost inversely proportional to the spike in the number of visitors).
